@lb43823 You might be under some misunderstanding that Google, for example, pays grads from MIT and Berkeley differently than they pay grads from Brown but that is not the case. If a company recruits and/or hires new grads they pretty much all get the same salary. and those companies you mention will be accessible to you (however if you are an international I can’t speak to employment opportunities for undergrads on OPT and then needing H1B Visa) Occasionally a student might get a bit of a little better offer if you are known as a superstar technically in some area for some reason. Basically Brown has a gem of a CS department with a really great ratio of students to teachers. All the professors that are researching are teaching and working with undergrads. The department is run extremely well and they do undergraduate teaching very well. If you want to do research there are many opportunities.
